Abstract excerpt
Pro-opiomelancortin (POMC) plays important roles in the regulation of food intake and energy expenditure. The sheep exon 3 of gene POMC was amplified and sequenced by screening the DNA pools to select single nuclear polymorphisms and analyze the association with the growth traits. Two silent SNP mutations (g.273 T/C and g.456 G/A) in Hu sheep were identified. PCR-restriction fragment length polymorphism (RFLP)...
